Also, maybe it is an interesting Hybrid approach because you criticisms were like micro community, micro Society, in which you can see some sort of political power?

Set it and forget it
An interesting thing, without me even knowing it, I guess I have the best landlord of all time he just recently repainted the whole apartment unit, with a fresh new coat of white paint, and also met black lettering and railings and awnings and drain pipes, beautifying the whole place, Technically there is no sort of reason to do so, yet, interesting thing is, it seems that he just had some sort of personal pride and or, virtue?
“Ownership”
The funny thing that Americans are really into is this notion of ownership. The truth is I think it’s kind of more of a propagandized, commoditized, consumerist notion. I’m more honest idea, is that to be American, is all about, life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and also that we are the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Freedom, and bravery 
I think the only two virtues, maybe worth pursuing, according to the American ideal is in regards to bravery and freedom.
Bravery is the only virtue you can exhibit, and act upon. Freedom, is I think the core principle behind America.
Does it matter?
Nothing comes a question, does it all matter?
Yes.
In some ways the ancient Spartans would have liked the idea of America, a country which prizes itself upon military prowess and freedom. 
What is tricky about America is that there is like a lot of superficiality underneath it, and the truth is there is no sinister actors behind the whole thing, I think it’s just like misinformation upon misinformation, and uncritical thinkers who propagate the same uncritical thinking.
So then, why does this matter?
Well, first, I think the first step of life is you don’t want to get suckered. And upon discussing this with my mom and Cindy, I think actually the number one virtue I want Seneca to have is critical thinking.
How and why critical thinking?
To me true science is like debunking. For example, I think one of the difficult things that people grapple with is that people say stuff, but there is a lack of precision in people’s words.
For example, when people talk about health, healthy not healthy or whatever… What do they really mean?
This then becomes difficult because when you talk about abstract notions of freedom etc., once again, it seems that everyone is speaking the same language and has the same concept but the truth is , they are not.
Hybrid
So it seems that the way that things are hedged currently, it seems that I kind of like this idea of spending time in between America and Asia. America for the capital markets and family and citizenship, and Asia for opportunity, ownership.
Things get interesting 
I suppose my great joy is that as time proceeds, things life, my thinking becomes more interesting.
For example, a really really really really big epiphany is that I really don’t think anymore that life is about peace happiness, stability security and zen. Why not? The reason is that, I have done did it, and achieved perfect Zen piece tranquility stability while in Cambodia, and therefore, that is no longer my virtue.
To me the idea is quite exciting because it kind of overwrite like at least 1000 or maybe even 2000 years of thinking. Also in someways, I suppose my joy is that I have even superseded stoicism itself, as honestly I don’t really need it anymore because there’s nothing I am really concerned about nor anything I fear.
Now, I suppose life is more about like practical realities like senecas schooling, day-to-day living, eating extremely well getting a good night sleep, thinking about my weightlifting set up, etc. Also trying to spend some quality time with my mom, Cindy, the whole family.
Also, spending more time in my local community in my own city, my own little town in my own neighborhood, trying to encourage virtue, in my own little small slice of paradise.
the polis
Very interesting, the word police, is actually derived from the word the city, the polis.
This is a big idea and also a big thought, because, currently I believe the smart strategy in life is to like focus your matters directly on your own real city in which you live in, your own ZIP Code, your own area, your own local police, fire department, City Hall and Mayor and maybe even your local PTA.
Certainly finances are important as well, and I still think there is a lot of financial economic theory which needs to be developed. Yet, these often become this huge macro economic things which a lot of people are a little bit misguided in.
Why does this matter?
So why does this matter?
I was talking to somebody, and it seems the big problem is that politics in the news becomes people’s hobbies. Yet it is kind of a fruitless hobby because once again, you cannot really enact much change geopolitically. Yet you could enact a lot of change directly in your own city, once again assuming that you show up to the local city hall, encourage people in your local city or municipality to vote on stuff etc.
This also becomes tricky because there’s a lot of change you could do in your local city but once again, it is just your own local city. Do you want to have a big goal like changing the whole planet? Or just your own city? Like how much, or how little do you want to change things?
I suppose you could do it all
There’s a lot of people who think that you cannot do it at all. Maybe they’re wrong. I think you can.
